PSG scores 5 and defeats Metz

This Saturday (10), PSG beats Metz with a 5-0 win at the Parc des Princes, further increasing their lead in the French championship. Nkunku made two and Meunier, Thiago Silva and Mbappé made one each in the big win.

First half –

Four minutes and the Parc des Princes went wild. Berchiche received from Nkunku and retreated the pass to Mbappé, who kicked, but was blocked. On the rebound, Meunier opened the score. In response, Metz started to strike and gave trouble to the Parisian defenders. At 11, Dossevi entered freely in the area and kicked, but the ball hit the crossbar and went outside. At 15, Dossevi showed up again, this time from outside the area, but Areola stopped the bomb.

But for what Metz was trying to do, PSG could do it better. After 20 minutes, Verratti made use of his effort to level the score with a well placed pass for Nkunku to score. And, not satisfied with his only goal, Nkunku received from Di María, in the 29th minute and leaves another one. Metz's defense was weak, which strengthened the Paris attack.

PSG kept pressing and, in the 40th minute, Di María had the opportunity to extend the score with a free kick, but the ball flicked outside. But the socre was not yet closed and, to finish the first half, Verratti sent to Mbappé, who, face to face with the goalkeeper, rocked the nets.

Second half –

The first chance came in the 5th minute for PSG, when Meunier left Mbappé face to face with the goalkeeper, but the boy sent it out. The pace of the second half was slow and while the Parisian team focused on making goals, Metz focused only on not taking them.

At 19 minutes, the same play of the beginning of the game was repeated, but this time it was goalkeeper Kawashima who blocked Mbappé's shot. The game followed with a festival of chances to goal, wasted by PSG, with Metz’s team just watching, putting their hopes in the keeper.

But Kawashima did not hold on for long and at the end of the second half, after 37 minutes, after a corner kick, Thiago Silva went higher than any to extend the score with his head. 5-0 at the Parc des Princes. Metz even breathed in the end, almost scoring in the 43rd minute, with Riviére, but this time it was Areola who saved the goal, helping PSG to end the match with the perfect win.
